1/ Every Sunday: Dedicate 1 hour to review your upcoming week's calendar and optimize it
• Target pruning 20% of the meetings.
• Move things forward or backward based on priority.
• Do a quick project round-up and list "next actions" for each
2/ Block out time to get specific things done. I recommend trying to keep half or whole days without meetings for deep work.
Make sure to mentally prepare and block prep time for important meetings. Email your team a reminder to ensure they are doing the same.

Mike sent a fateful email in 2001…
2/ in 2001, he emailed a few classmates that had been handling outsourced IT work with an idea: let’s start a company instead of a getting a “real job.”
Farquar was the only one to respond. They became co-CEOs.
